September 4, 2015 /0 Comments/in Cell Biology, Cell Culture, Protocols /by adminFreeze Media 9ml media the cells grow in 1ml DMSO Trypsinize as normally. Spin cells and resuspend in appropriate freeze media for ~1-2million cells/vial. Place 1ml of Freeze Media. Place cryovial in Nalgene cell freezer and put at -80°C until next day. (If you do not use a Nalgene cell freezer, this protocol will NOT […]

Culturing HMEC, vHMEC and HME lines (PJ Keller)
September 4, 2015 /0 Comments/in Cell Biology, Cell Culture, Protocols /by adminCulturing HMECs ( Click to Download ) HME/C lines are slower to trypsinize than most cells. Use care when passaging to avoid over-trypsinizing and damaging cells. Grow cells to 70-80% confluence in MEGM media. Aspirate media from the plate; rinse with 10 ml PBS to remove cellular debris and traces of serum (though most […]
